OK. I also dislike a name '.globalrc'.
But it may be also undesirable to create a new dot file.
The XDG guidelines recommend that applications store their configuration
in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/<app>. How about following this?

XDG Base Directory Specification
[https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/index.html]

According to this specification, the configuration priority of GLOBAL seems
to
become like follows:

       (1) --gtagsconf file

       (2) $GTAGSCONF

       (3) [project root]/gtags.conf

       (4) $HOME/.globalrc

       (5) $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gtags/gtags.conf          <= New

       (6) $HOME/.config/gtags/gtags.conf             <= New

       (7) /etc/gtags.conf

       (8) [sysconfdir]/gtags.conf

What do you think?
